Canada's first Chef Program for Journeyman Cooks is approved and designated by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) for chefs with their journeyman's certification for cooks who want to move forward in the kitchen. The curriculum was developed with substantial input from some of Canada's finest chefs, by the chefs and professors at Humber's School of Hospitality, Recreation & Tourism, and the support of our industry Advisory Committee. By integrating practical chef classes, lectures, online learning and self-directed learning, this innovative program is designed to fit with your work schedule without the need for a long-term absence from the job. Upon successful completion of the program, students will be licensed to provide certified basic-level sanitation training to their co-workers; be a certified trainer of culinary arts; and be certified to participate in a joint health and safety committee.
Canada's aging population is more likely to go to a restaurant for a sit-down meal than eat on the run, a trend reflected in the 3.4 per cent one-year increase that full-service restaurants enjoyed in the year ending February 2008. That makes full-service restaurants the fastest growing sector of Canada's $4-billion food services and drinking establishments industry. Now is the time to build upon your cook apprenticeship training and work experience and prepare yourself for a leadership role in a high-calibre kitchen. Take on more responsibility in such roles as: chef de partie, sous chef and chef de cuisine.
